Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with IS0 4304 : 1987 ‘Cranes other than mobile and floating cranes -
General requirements for stability’, issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted
by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Cranes, Lifting Chains and Its Related
Equipment Sectional Committee, and approval of the Heavy Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

The text of IS0 standard has been approved for publication as Indian Standard without deviations. Certain
terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is
particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words’lnternational Standard’appear referring to this standard, they should be read
as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is
to use a full stop ( . ) as a decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also
exists. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed below along
with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:
